    Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, thewretched refuse of your teeming shore, says the inscription on the Statute ofLiberty. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me. I lift my lamp beside thegolden door.

    Nothing there, you will notice, about the tempest-tossed being processed indetention centres first. No mention of identity cards or vouchers. Not even a hintthat the ships carrying the huddled masses might be fined. But that was old-styleglobalisation, and what we have now is different beast, a time in which your moneyis welcome anywhere in the world, buy you are not.

    A century ago there was a liberalised regime in which capital mainly from Britain financed development in the Americas, southern Africa and Australasia. Massemigration let the people follow the money. When times got tough it was possibleto seek a better life elsewhere. Migration was globalisations safety valve.

    The contrast with today could hardly be more stark. The West is not exportingcapital to fund rapid development in poor countries; indeed, rising debt burdens andshrinking aid budgets mean that capital is being sucked out of some of thosecountries that can least afford it. There was much high-flown talk at this years G7summit of the in Genoa of a Marshall Plan for Africa, but little evidence that this

    was anything more than a sop to the anti-globalisation protesters on the other sideof the security fences.

    Attempts to shackle movement of labour while giving free rein to capital is a seriousdesign flaw for globalisation. It will become commonplace to see economicmigrants crammed on to the decks of container ships because if the money does notgo to where the people are, it is inevitable that the people will try to move to wherethe money is. That is what happens within countries all the time. It is why citiessuch as Liverpool in Britain have seen big falls in their population over the past 40years and why house prices in the south-east are so high. The reason Britain is afavourite destination for asylum seekers and economic migrants is not that it is thesoft touch the rightwing press would have readers believe, but because shortagesof labour mean that there is a good chance of getting a job.
